THE ASSOCIATION OF WEIGHT-ADJUSTED WAIST INDEX WITH THE RISK OF OSTEOPOROSIS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

The association of weight-adjusted waist index with the risk of osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background The relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes with bone health has always been a topic of debate.The weight-adjusted waist index has become a commonly used indicator for assessing central obesity, fat, and muscle mass.However, currently there is no research reporting the association between weight-adjusted waist index and

Molecular evolution of the LNX gene family

Abstract Background LNX (Ligand of Numb Protein-X) proteins typically contain an amino-terminal RING domain adjacent to either two or four PDZ domains - a domain architecture mel axolotl that is unique to the LNX family.LNX proteins function as E3 ubiquitin ligases and their domain organisation suggests that their ubiquitin ligase activity may be t

Dose-dependent interaction of parasites with tiers of host defense predicts "wormholes" that prolong infection at intermediate inoculum sizes.

Immune responses are induced by parasite exposure and can in turn reduce parasite burden.Despite such apparently simple rules of engagement, key drivers of within-host dynamics, including dose-dependence of defense and infection duration, have proven difficult to predict.Here, we model how varied inoculating doses interact with multi-tiered host de

Weak saturation numbers of and

A graph is weakly -saturated if contains no copy of , and there is an ordering of all edges of so that if they are added read more one at a time, they form a complete graph and each edge added creates a new copy of.The minimum size of a weakly -saturated graph of order is weak saturation number, denoted by.Let denote the complete graph with vertice
